Introduction

The apptraining is pluralist in nature, exploring the major approaches to the theory and practice of psychoanalysis and analytical psychology. The Clinical Training will equip its graduates to work in private practice and also in the public and voluntary sectors.

AGIP has been training psychoanalytic psychotherapists since 1974. The ethos underlying the AGIP training includes a commitment to making psychotherapy more widely accessible and an understanding that no single theoretical model can encompass the diverse and complex circumstances of patients who seek psychotherapy, nor the varied interests of the therapists who train and practice within AGIP.

Trainees are encouraged to develop their own critical and creative approach to their work within the field and to become competent, self-aware psychoanalytic psychotherapists through acquiring theoretical knowledge, sound clinical skills, and an ethical and professional approach to practice.
